Hi,
I just brewed an all extract batch. i brewed in my kitchen stove and i think the fire was not big enough and the water was too much so the wort didn't boil too vigorously.
So here is the recipe.
13L of water in the pot
1.6 KG of LDME,
14 g of cascade hops @60
7g @ 30
7g @ 10
8g @ 2
off fire, cover lid and rest for 20 mnts.
Cooling down to ferment temp in 1 hour.
After i transfer the wort (it's a full boil) into my fermentation bucket and have a check on the OG, the hydrometer floats as if it floats on water. So i thought my hydrometer is broken (i just bought it) and pitch in the yeast and put it in my fermentation fridge and hope for the best.
So, have any of you experienced this? Is it because the sugar level is too high and i should add water? or should i just leave it for a couple of days and see how it goes?
p.s. i wanted to post a pic of my reading but the website can't upload my photo
